The proposed fourth floor rear roof extension by reason of its siting, scale and form would result in an incongruous and overly dominant addition that fails to achieve subordination. The development would fail to Lambeth Planning Telephone 020 7926 1180 PO Box 80771 www.lambeth.gov.uk London planning@lambeth.gov.uk SW2 9QQ REFULZ respond to the character and appearance of the recently built host building by adding bulk albeit at the rear of the building and harms the appearance of the block and its relationship between buildings within the locality which is unacceptable. The proposal would be contrary to Policies Q2, Q5, Q7, Q8 and Q11 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2021 and Lambeth Design Guide 2023.

Insufficient information has been submitted to the Council in the form of a Fire Safety Statement to allow officers to assess whether appropriate consideration has been given to the design of the development including the internal layout of the unit to minimise the risk of fire spreading and the risk of injury. The proposal is thereby contrary to Policy D12 of the London Plan 2021.

In the absence of a Unilateral Undertaking or other legal agreement securing appropriate mitigation by restricting future occupiers of the development from obtaining parking permits within the Controlled Parking Zone, providing car club membership and cycle hire scheme, the proposed development would likely exacerbate existing parking stress and congestion on the surrounding highway network. The application is therefore contrary to Policies D4, T1 and T7 of the Lambeth Local Plan 2020-2035 (2021) and Policy T6 of the London Plan (2021).
